Purchased this old gym from a local Simplicity fella who was thinning the herd. The guy was actually going to part this old boy out. I wound up getting 3 tractors from him. The 67 landlord, 67 B10 and a 73 landlord. I really like this tractor it's in good shape everything works so I decided that this was the tractor to put my Hydro setup in. Now the main reason for this cleanup was the hydro setup I've had for about 5 years and it's a new old stock that's never been used so basically new. I didn't want to put this nice unit in an old crusty looking machine so the cleanup began. It's getting sandblasted and powder coated. I have made my own powder coating oven and it works great. Here's what I've got so far.

If I may ask, what size is your oven and how did you make it or what did you make it out of??

I think you’re going to love that landlord. I’ve been cutting and snow blowing with my 64 for over 20 years now. I’ve found they really need a hi/lo mechanism for heavy snow. Above 10 inchs of snow first gear is just too fast for the blower to keep up. In lo range I’ve been able to clear 24 inchs ! Love your powder coating technique. Makes my rattle can restoration look lame.
Wishing you good luck!

I've so many of these tractors it's silly. Down here in Florida no need to worry about snow.

 

[jonathan grzyb]

Sorry bout that
Should have seen that on your profile. I’ve had the most fun with my landlord in the snow but that doesn’t make up for the fact that it’s well...snow.

Would love to have a high low there just too expensive when you can find one.

Just finished the front grill frame. Took some pictures of the oven also.

A HiLo shouldn't break the bank these days. $200 or less for a working unit. $100 for a fixer upper. I probably have a spare around here to let go of.

Little more done. The pine pollen has it looking all Dusty. I like the look of the black dash so I ordered the 64 landlord stickers for it.

 

[tdipaul]

Looking great!

 

[rdmanone]
